The disturbance occurred during Netanyahu’s address, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
Part of the crowd has started to become violent at First Street and Constitution Avenue, NW. The crowd failed to obey our order to move back from our police line. We are deploying pepper spray towards anyone trying to break the law and cross that line.
